you should really put in a disclaimer telling people to bet responsibly!

always set a limit of how much you want to lose. instead of how much you are thinking of winning!

i've got and uncle who was in debt for more than 30 years because of gambling, and the amount of strain he puts on his brothers and his own family was quite terrible to watch.

Nice! I was thinking of doing some betting on some sc2 games, after reading darkforce's blogs it sounds pretty fun and would get me more invested in certain series and games. did you end up being up much money?

EDIT: also yes obviously bet responsibly

thanks cyanide should have remembered to do that! added a few words in.

wally i ended up being up around 900sgd or so at the end of july after which i withdrew most of it so i wont be tempted to keep on betting bigger and bigger haha.

Thats exactly how I started off betting too. I lost my first 100$ that I put into pinnacle without winning a single bet. I eventually put another 50$ in, determined to earn back whatever I've lost. After tons of research, I made a spreadsheet on players winrate vs race, winrates on maps, etc. And also put tons of effort into studying the playstyles of players, never betting on games with players I don't know about. I ended up being up about 2k SGD after a few months, winning about 75-85% of my bets. I withdrew everything to buy an aftershock laptop. I haven't been betting recently though, keeping the spreadsheet up to date takes too much effort. Betting on E-sports can be good money, provided you put in a considerable amount of effort to research about players. If you bet blindly with the "I think he's gonna win" mindset, prepare to lose everything.

I wish I could do this. But no matter what my brain tells me, my heart would never let me bet against Bisu.

I'd be broke in a month.

That isn't a disclaimer Nirvana.

Betting can be fun but addictive. Whatever you spend betting u must be prepared to lose them. Never bet on credit thinking u are going to win and get everything back. Set a limit for yourself and have plenty of self-discipline.

Hope your finger is all better now
